Pineapple Cleansing Juice

The tropical, summer fruit pineapple is a favorite among many.  Not only is it sweet and juicy, it contains antioxidants and the enzyme bromelain, which helps to digest proteins.  Try this sweet and spicy cleansing drink.

Pineapple Cleansing Juice
1/4 pineapple
1 apple
1/2 beet
2 carrots
1/4 cup parsley
1/4 inch slice of fresh ginger

Wash all produce.  Remove top of pineapple, then remove the skin and core.  Cut remaining produce to fit in your juice extractor. Roll the parsley leaves into a ball to create density.  Juice and enjoy.

Bok Choy Juice Recipes

Upon seeing this photo today of a giant bok choy I wondered if it would fit in my juicer machine chute!  Then I realized that I have never made juice with this amazing vegetable.  So I searched for a couple of recipes to try.

Stalks of Health Green Juice
1 apple
2 stalks of celery

4 stalks bok choy
handful spinach
small bunch parsley 

Wash fruits and vegetables, cut to size and put through your juicer.  
Bok Choy-Celery-Orange Pressed Juice
1 head bok choy, stalks separated and washed
5 celery stalks
1-2 large oranges, peeled and quartered 
Wash fruits and vegetables.  Put bok choy through juicer, one stalk at a time.  Add celery, then oranges through juicer.   Recipe from Green Lemonade.

Carrot Bok Choy Juice

5-7 carrots
1 head bok choy
Wash and separate stalks of bok choy.  Wash carrots (peel if not organic).  Put through juice extractor one at a time.  Pour into glass.

Cleansing Juice Recipe

Carrot - Beet - Cucumber Juice
3 carrots
1/2 beet root
1 cucumber
small handful parsley (optional)

Wash vegetables. Cut into sizes that will fit through your juicer and juice.

This juice cleanse recipe is a great over-all tonic.  The carrots provide beta-carotene and vitamins which are anti-oxidants.  The anti-oxidants help against free radical, cancer causing cells.  Beet root is especially good for liver and gall bladder health.  Cucumbers help to reduce swelling and strengthen connective tissue.  Parsley is a diuretic, good for digestion, and can help prevent bad breath.
